Yom Shabbat, Elul 22, 6004 – August 24, 2019

Listening To Learn

We are always in the process of listening. We are either listening to someone talk, we are listening to the voices in our head, or we are listening to ourselves talk. Hearing is important because when we hear, it gets into us. There is a hidden and important message in the scriptures relating to what we hear. It has to do with the word “rhema” which is translated “word” or “thing” but means an utterance spoken. See how this is key to understanding these scriptures.

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

And when the angel spoke with Mary, he said “no thing” or literally, “nothing spoken”. Mary’s response was “according to what you said”.

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

And lastly, we have Paul telling us that Moses told us how to get to the spoken words of God,

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

And then Paul told us further that the our faith comes from hearing something spoken.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

So it is important to do what we can to make sure we hear what YAH is saying. And He gave us that power in our mouths to be able to hear Him, and do the right things, to follow His Law, the path before us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Keep us from temptations. Restore Your provisions that have been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.
